That reply answered my question. surtur wrote: Re: Re: Is anyone able to make My.Settings work?

I can't! I save some data to an array in my program. I can reopen the setting screen and see that the data is, in fact, in the array. I then do a lot of these: My.Settings.Brkr1 = BreakerAmps(1) My.Settings.Brkr2 = BreakerAmps(2) My.Settings.Brkr3 = BreakerAmps(3) My.Settings.Brkr4 = BreakerAmps(4) My.Settings.Brkr5 = BreakerAmps(5) then I do a: My.Settings.Save after all of the My.Settings commands and exit the program. On the way in next time, I do: BreakerAmps(1) = CInt(My.Settings.Brkr1) BreakerAmps(2) = CInt(My.Settings.Brkr2) BreakerAmps(3) = CInt(My.Settings.Brkr3) BreakerAmps(4) = CInt(My.Settings.Brkr4) BreakerAmps(5) = CInt(My.Settings.Brkr5) and when I get to my settings screen, they are back to the default that was entered when I set up the settings entries by hand. I tried doing a My.Settings.Reload during the invocation just in case but it made no different. Ideas? Where can I see the "persistent" values so help find the problem area. My MSDN help is still broken via the VS help system. Says it is down (does not seem to be) or my User/PW is broken (but does not let me reenter it) so getting help got just that much harder and it was already hard enough!

Mike, In this millenium there is more than Atari programming. The mySettings are based on all kind of data in the computer. By instance the XML config file. It is not just simple a piece of memory that you withouth having allocated can use. Cor <Just_a_fan(a)home.net> schreef in bericht news:r1cg64tve64rgb7t4q4paalm1q3udjnij9(a)4ax.com...

When you copy code around to clean things up a little bit and get stuff that is similar, together, (refactoring, sorta) VB loses the Handles clauses. They simply vanish. It has happened several times to me and this time, it happened on the form close and it was not running to save the values. I put it back in and now the routine runs and I save the data. Don't say I forgot to copy it. I copied the Sub command and the code and the Handles is right inline with it. I could not miss copying it when I move a whole routine but at the destination, the Handles is missing and I missed noticing that it had gone away. Settings is not "working" since the routine to drive it is back. I hope someone fixes that little problem soon.

Mike, That is no problem, the problem is that you are meshing up with the code. You can cut it and set it on another place, but how would be known which of the exact equal event methode should be taken as you copy it. Be happy that it is not deleted from the original one too. However, I am curious how you think that you can refactor code as you don't even know the basics? Cor <Just_a_fan(a)home.net> schreef in bericht news:sdog64d66h6ae866uvmlkb2gg2lbcbqp63(a)4ax.com...

Just_a_fan(a)home.net wrote: I've posted the following code at earlier times, and I'll list it again, it will fix your problem - 1. Create a new setting, such as "SettingsValid" and set its default value to False. (This is important!) 2. Place the following code at the beginning of your Form_Load event - If Not My.Settings.SettingsValid Then My.Settings.Upgrade() My.Settings.SettingsValid = True My.Settings.Save() End If Hope this helps.
